another noise? yes and thats what it sounds like..
its a real high pitch screeching sound from the right drivers side wheel when I go about 5mph or am parking..

I first thought belts but I jacked the car up and spun the wheel and it made the farking weeeeee whistling screech noise..

I removed the caliper to see if I had some crap on the disk and pads and then spun the wheel and the noise is still there..

The wheel bearing is about 7 months old so it should not be that..

Could it be that when they did the bearing they did not re-grease the CV-joint Bearings and somehow they are making that dumbass noise?

I am just wondering if anyone else has heard this before and if they know what to do?

I might just yank the CV out from both ends and re grease and replace the boots tomorrow to see if that makes a difference..

This is on a 1998 Primera GT

How much materila is left on the pads? Just thinking it might be the squeaker pad to warn you the're low ?

well with the disk and calipers its still there so its not that.. I got under today and re greased the bearings but still the same funking noise..

I am now starting to think wheel bearing.. maybe when they did the bearing the put the nut back on too tight or something - I need to get a 36" deep socket to crack the nut again and then will spray the bearing with some liquid grease and see if that makes any difference..
